You're with me,
yet I feel like you're so far away,
In our home is where you stay,
but your mind's elsewhere..

Your presence is here but I cannot really feel.

I want to say i love you,
that I care about you,
but I feel like I'm not really as close to you as i first thought so..

This is my house as well as it is yours,
You and I are of the same blood,
Tell me how is it that i feel so rejected?

This should have been our home,
but I feel like I don't belong,
like a stranger in a country not my own,
lost in an unknown land
foreign to me in every way,
even food cooked well,
tasted bland as I hear you scream and shout.

so, tell me..

What has happened to us?

To the people that we once were,
Have we shed out our skins like snakes do or changed our colors like a chameleon?
Have we changed, transformed into something else perhaps or we have just stopped listening to each other,
after communication has become such a burden?

Silence is deafening..

Echoing inside my heart,
resonating from deep within,
I sit idly by the bed, and now I'm thinking,

I must have been an alien from outer space,
invisible from your gaze..

You do not look at me,
the way i see you..
You and I no longer know each other as we once both do.

Family That is how we should be,
but we have become strangers,
unknown to one another..

Love suspended in time,
all that's left,
are scraps of memories from our broken past,
shadows of ourselves we left behind.
